📋 About This Mod
Description:
Fix - The dragon fight in the Forgotten Vale with Voslaarum and Naaslaarum has a chance of a bug where the dragons may get stuck in a continuous loop diving into the lake. The issue is the Dive Package won't end causing the scene not to end. Possibly due to mod conflict. The solution proposed in this mod is to add a timer to the scene and condition the ending to complete when either the dive package or the timer ends.
Enhancement - The second phase of the overall fight of each dragon is triggered by the player walking into the trigger box associated with each dragon for phase two. This is likely to happen at the start of the fight causing the second phase of diving to start immediately after the first is finished. The change is to pause the second phase diving until the dragon is below 70% health. The overall fight will have much better flow.
No change is made to the quests, AI packages or trigger boxes.
Install prior to triggering the fight.
